Citations

• Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, de bello civili, liber IX. In: Lucan with an English translation by J. D. Duff; The Civil War Books I–X (Phrasalia), 1962, p. 536f.:

  Temperies vitalis abest, et nulla sub illa
  Cura Iovis terra est ; natura deside torpet
  Orbis et inmotis annum non sentit harenis.

  The temperate air that life needs is not found there, and Jupiter pays no heed to the land ; Nature is inactive ; the lifeless expanse, with sands that are never ploughed, is unconscious of the seasons.

• Publius Papinius Statius, Silvae, liber V. In: Statius with an English translation by J. H. Mozley, vol. I of two volumes, 1928, p. 292f.:

  Iamque alio moliris iter nec deside passu
  ire paras ; nondum validae tibi signa iuventae
  inrepsere genis, et adhuc tenor integer aevi.

  And now thou art planning a journey to other lands, and art preparing to be gone with no sluggish stride ; not yet have the signs of vigorous manhood crept about thy cheeks, blameless still is the tenour of thy life.

• Publius Papinius Statius, Thebais, liber VI. In: Statius with an English translation by J. H. Mozley, vol. II of two volumes, 1928, p. 70f.:

  primitias egomet lacrimarum et caedis acerbae
  ante tubas ferrumque tuli, dum deside cura
  credo sinus fidos altricis et ubera mando.

  Tis I that have borne the first-fruits of grief and untimely death, before even trumpets brayed or sword was drawn, while in indolent neglect I put faith in his nurse's bosom and entrusted to her my babe to suckle.
